Claudius Pulcher (1), Appius, 

(RE 295)

as consul 143 bc with difficulty defeated the Salassi and, against the will of the senate, triumphed, protected against a veto by his daughter who was a Vestal (see Vesta). Censor 136, he became princeps senatus and a leading statesman. An enemy of P. Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, he married a daughter to Ti. Sempronius Gracchus (3), advised Tiberius during his tribunate and served on his agrarian commission until his own death (c.130). The suggestion that he was the subject of Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae 23 (see P. Popillius Laenas) seems unlikely. (Accepted Corpus Inscriptionum latinarum 12. 4 (1986), p. 923.)
